Previously I posted about IDC and Ovum saying that WP7 will overtake iOS in near future(https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/985270-analyst-wp7-to-overtake-iphone-in-2016/page__p__593823462__fromsearch__1#entry593823462).

Now add Gartner to that list too. They believe WP7 to overtake Blackberry in 2013, and iPhone in 2015.

Heres the news link to that article(http://wmpoweruser.com/gartner-predicts-windows-phone-7-will-overtake-blackberry-in-2013-overtake-iphone-in-2015/)

And heres the Source link for Gartner's own website, predicting this(http://www.gartner.com/it/page.jsp?id=1622614).

Below is a snapshot from there website.

As I have said before, the release version is just to make people aware of the name. it's not even officially released and supported in most of the world. Once we get version 1.5 (7.5) and 2.0(8) we should see MS put some hard marketing behind it along with Nokia. We've seen it before, it's what they did with the Xbox. once that happens and people start to hit the end of their contracts (especially in contracts that for some ridiculous reason allows more than 12 month consumer contracts) we'll see that Microsofts real push will start. and by then they should have most of the world supported.

The biggest issue for WIPHONE 7 is that it needs to be updated in a more sane manner, much like the IPHONE does where you just sync with itunes and presto, why not just push the updates to ZUNE software and skip these dumb ass cell carriers. However this method should be attached to a warning, any custom apps from the carrier could be fooked.

Well, I for one am getting tired of Gartner predicting thing...I would like to see some information about the hitrate on their predictions :p

Yeah, me too. Anybody can make wild guesses. Although, I do think the WP7 will be big in the future. I just don't know how big.

    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By WaltC · Posted

      The problem of course is simply that government does not always know best. My point is that agency is taken away from the EU consumer in these cases. I'm sorry, but I do not believe that governments (politicians) are inherently good, and "looking out for me." Primarily they look to themselves and their own personal desires first, foremost, and always. When the EU or the DOJ fines these companies, claiming to "represent the welfare of the consumer," how much of these billion-dollar judgments are handed to the consumers they claim to represent? Not even a dollar, as I've seen. Yet the EUC lawyers who are paid to sit around and dream up these suits make huge commissions on the fines the EUC adjudicates, which is an ironclad fact I hope everyone is aware of. It's also rank corruption, of course, but that's another topic. Last, when the EU inflicts these judgments, or the DOJ, take your pick, the costs are bundled right along in the cost of the goods and services these companies provide the consumers they are "looking out for." If you are someone who believes his government is his savior then you have my condolences. I think Apple is right here, because the whole scheme of consumer choice is that consumers pick and choose among the products companies offer. Microsoft Windows is more compatible with third party software and hardware than any desktop OS on Earth, which is my sole reason for choosing it. Just because the EUC forces companies do certain things it knows the companies do not want to do, "or else", has no bearing on consumer benefit. This Siri thing is almost idiotic it's so infantile. But this is what the EUC does when the EU in Brussels becomes cash-strapped and needs a big infusion of cash. Some people get upset by "big companies" but it's the opposite when governments dwarf the size and scope of these companies, which is so obvious it hurts.... I mean you can't honestly believe that forcing Apple to do things with Siri it has its own reasons to decline is something that "opens up" Apple, do you? Say it aint' so...

      Is it still super slow or has it improved on that area?

      There's this from last year https://gist.github.com/threat...364659a8887841aa43deca4efd9 but nothing about a buffer overflow that MS somehow can't code against. No matter what, it makes sense to take a "protected by default" approach.
